Volare / Ciao ciao bambina - Domenico Modugno

It's no wonder that Domenico Modugno's song 'Nel blu dipinto di blu', better known as 'Volare', became such an immortal song: it was re-released numerous times after its original release in 1958. In this case, we're looking at a Belgian single in the 'Golden Original Oldies' series from the early Eighties. 

'Volare' was coupled with that other Eurovision oldie, 'Ciao ciao bambina' a.k.a. Piove, which was Modugno's other big Eurovision hit from 1959. The single presents both songs in their original incarnations in a simple black and white sleeve.
